Design. — The object of the Society is to collect and jireserve (also, to pub- 
lish, as far as practicable) Genealogical, Biooraphical and Historical matter, re- 
lating for the most part, though not exclusively, to the State of New-York. 

Ijibrai'iJ. — A Library has been commenced, already containing many works 
of great value to tlie genealogical student ; and, by donation, exchange and 
otherwise, is rapidly increasing. 

Meinorials. — On the decease of a member of the Society, a biography 
embracing a full outline of his life and character is prepared, to be read at a 
monthly meeting, and published in the future issues of the Society. 

3Ieetings are held monthly, for the reading of historical and biographical 
papers, the discussion of genealogical topics, the admission of members, and 
other miscellaneous business. 

McnibersMp. — For admission to the Society, the candidate must be nomi- 
nated by a member, in writing ; be approved by the Board of Trustees, and 
voted in at a regular meeting. The initiation fee is Five dollars, and Resident 
Membership requires the payment, annually, of Five dollars. The Life Meni- 
l)ership fee (in lieu of all annual assessments) is Fifty dollars. The Clerks of the 
several Counties and Towns of the State are members of this Society ex-officio. 

Bureau of Genealogical JReference.—Fov the convenience of Ge- 
nealogical students, a Register has been opened (and will be rapidly perfected) 
rouiinising: 1st, A Library (r'r('<ie, showing in which of the libraries (public 
or private) of New-York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, etc., any particular printed 
genealogies, English countv histories, &c.. may be found. "iAlj, K List of the 
names, addresses, etc., of individuals, in all parts of the United States, engaged 
in the preparation of genealogical works, and also a record of such works as are 
already completed, in manuscript. This Register being designed to save time, 
trouble and expense to genealogists •^especially to those at a distance from the 
great literary centres), all letters of enqi'ivy addressed to the President or Re- 
cording Secretary of this Society (with stamp enclosed for return postage) will 
be promptly answered. Letters of information, which may contribute to the 
greater completeness of this Register, are also solicited from genealogists and 
others interested. It is hoped that, in this way, the various genealogical colU'c 
tions scattered throughout our libraries, public and private, may be tit/dirud, 
and rendered more accessible to genealogists ; and that a means of communica- 
tion may be established between those interested in similar pursuits. [ovEii.

THE NEW YORK GENEALOGICAL AND 
BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY, 

had its inception with Dr. D. P. Holton of 
New York City ; and, in response to letters of 
invitation from him, seven gentlemen assem- 
bled at his residence, No. 124 W. 54th Street, 
New York, on the evening of February 27th, 
1869. After a free interchange of views on 
the subject, and an interesting statement of 
the plan, progress and condition of the " New 
England Historic-Genealogical Society " by 
tbe Rev. E. F. Slafter, of Boston, Correspon- 
ding Secretary of that Society, who was 
present, it was determined that an effort 
should be made to establish in the city of 
New York, a similar association, for the State 
o'' Sew York. On the 16th of March, a cer- 
tificate of incorporation was filed in the office 
of the Secretary of State, at Albany, N. Y., 
and, at successive meetings of the original 
seven and their li lends, a code of By-Laws 
was pcepared, and, on the 17th of April, 
formally adopted. The Board of Trustees 
held its first regular meeting on the 24th of 
April, and elected the officers of the society ; 
and regular meetings of the Society, the 



Trustees and Executive Committee were helc 
weekly, at the residence of Dr. W. Frederic 
Holcombe, until the 7th of July, when the 
first quarterly meeting was assembled at 
" Mott Memorial Hall,'' No. 64 Madison 
Avenue, New York, where the Society has se- 
cured handsome accommodations for its 
library, collections and meetings, for the en- 
suing year. 




was adopted by the Board of Trustees, on the 
8th of May, 1869. It bears upon its face a 
shield divided into two parts, upon one of 
which is depicted the arms of the State of 
New York ; and upon the other, three open 
books — this idea being borrowed from the 
arms of the University of Oxford, England. 
Below, and at the sides of the shield, a 
ribbon bears the legend motto of the Society, 
"Et palribus, ft posteritate," i. e. freely trans- 
lated, "Not only in honor of our aficestors, 
but for the sake of our posterity." Above 
this shield, the word and figures "Inc. 1869," 
preserves the date of the Society's incorpora- 
tion ; and around the edge of the seal, in old 
English letters of the 14th century, runs the 
title of " The New York Genealogical and 
Biographical Society." This seal was de- 
signed by S. Edward Stiles, the Recording 
Secretary of the Society. 



BULLETIN OF THE N. Y. GENEALOGICAL 



NEW YOEK, DECEMBEE, 1869. 



OUR SOCIETY PROCEEDINGS. 

A special meeting of the Society was held 
at their rooms in Mott Memorial Hall, on 
October 16th, 1869. Four resident, and one 
corresponding member were elected. Chas. 
B. Moore, Esq., read an instructive paper 
upon " Methods of Genealogical Work," and 
was followed with remarks bj^ Porter C. Bliss, 
Rev. John Beveridge, and others. 

The following motion was adopted. — " Re- 
solved, that the names of the resident mem- 
bers, after the number of fifty, be numbered 
in the order of their completing their mem- 
bership, and that each member be requested 
to furnish a pedigi-ee of his own immediate 
ancestry, so far as he can, to be tiled, num- 
bered and preserved in the archives of the 
Society." 

At a regular meeting held Oct. 30th, at the 
same place, five resident, and two correspond- 
ing members were elected ; donations of books 
were acknowledged from A. Oilman, Esq., 
S. G. Drake, Leonard Hazeltine, Essex Insti- 
tute of Salem, (Mass.,) Quarter-Master Gener- 
al's Office, (U. S. A.,) and others. 

Mr. Benj. Howland presented to the Society 
a printed copy of his pedigree showing him 
to be descended from John Ilowland who 
came to America in the Moyflou-er. Dr. D. 
P. Holton, Dr. Henry R. Stiles and S. Ed- 
ward Stiles also presented copies of their 
pedigrees for the archives of the Society. 

The following Motion was offered. — "i?e- 
Holvcd, that each member be requested to pre- 
pare a biogiaphical sketch of some ancestor ; 
ur of some person connected with this State, 
to be lead before the Society, and be request- 
ed to notify the Executive Committee, when 
ready." 

At a regular meeting, held November 13th, 
three resident and three corresponding mem- 
bers and two life members were elected. Chas. 
B. Moore, Esq., read a portion of a paper on 
" Dutch and English Intermarriages," the 
conclusion being deferred to the next meeting. 
The Librarian announced that the new book- 
case had been finished and placed in the 
room ; and, also that tlie 

Regular Meetings of the Society 
would be lield. hencelorth, on the second and 
fourth Saturdays of each month, at 1%

AMERICAN GENEALOGY. 

ITS TRUE SIGNIFICANCE. 

Our readers have doubtless seen in the 
papers a report of the recent meeting of the 
Lyman fanaily at the little village of Nono- 
tuck, at Mount Tom, in Mass. The ^Y. Y. 
Evenitig Mail, in noticing tiiis celebration, 
makes some just observations setting forth 
the real import of such demonstrations. 

" First, they show that in this country a man may 
" have a grandfather " and be proud of the fact, al- 
though that ancestor may have no ornamental or 
" noble " handle to his name. It is the fashion with 
our playwrights, novelists, and paragraphists to make 
sport of oiu- " new rich " who strive vainly to disguise 
the humiliating fact that their fathers or grandfathers 
were poor and honest laborers, and the game is legiti- 
mate. Of all forms of snobbery this is the meanest 
and most unnatural. But our Yankee genealogists 
avoid this stumbling block of oiience. They go back 
through a line of John Smiths to the Maytlower, 
nine-tenths of whom were poor men and the majority 
manual laborers. They take pride in an ancestry 
that have displayed the virtues of honesty, thrift, 
manliness, and more or less of the Christian graces. 
They may point out with, pride a few eminent divines, 
lawyers, statesmen, or other intellectual mag-nates, 
but the stock in the main shows its noble and endxu'- 
ing traits in the hand to hand struggles with the 
coarse necessities of life. 

"It is only in the past few years, comparatively, 
that the New England genealogies have been 
thoroughly investigated, and the results have tilled 
the seekers with an honorable pride. It has been 
said by those who have delved deeply in this sort of 
lore on both sides of the water, that the proportion of 
New England families who can show a creditable and 
clearly marked line of descent from the best stock of 
Great Britain is far greater than in the mother coun- 
try itself. We tirmly believe this to be true. 

"These investigations show the fruitfulness of the 
hardy stock which was transplanted from the stormy 
England of the time of the Stuarts to the stony soil 
of New England." 



^c*^ A Committee of this Society has in 
preparation a circular Form of Genealogi- 
cal Lnquiry, designed to be used by all 
who are engaged in correspondence with a 
view to obtain genealogical information. In 
view of the great importance of making such 
a form as perfect as possible, the Committee 
respectfully request that practical genealo- 
gists, throughout the country, will favor them 
with copies of forms which they are them- 
selves using, or with any suggestions which 
may aid them in their work. Address the 
Librarian. 



BULLETIN OF THE N. Y. GENEALOGICAL 



^"■^^. Donations of genealogical works, town 
histories, biographies, funeral, historical and 
commemorative sermons, addresses, etc., 
church manuals, military muster rolls, etc., 
etc., are respectfully solicited for the Library. 
Old Directories, Town and State Registers, 
and College Catalogues particularly desired. 

^c*:ic Clergymen can help us in the forma- 
tion of our library by sending us copies of 
any church manuals, historical sermons, fu- 
neral discourses, preached and published 
during their own pastorate, or by their pre- 
decessors. Also, by copies in MS. of the old 
records of their churches and parishes. 

,^\ Physicians frequently have an oppor- 
tunity, while visiting their patients, of pro- 
curing copies of valuable pamphlets, books, 
family records, etc., which they could "have 
for the asking," and which would prove very 
acceptable and important to the purposes 
of this Society. 

^*^ Town Clerks are, by the Constitution 
of this Society, members ex-officio thereof, and, 
from their position, can contribute largely to 
the value of our collections, by sending us 
copies of curious historical documents, lists 
of births, marriages and deaths, etc., etc., 
from the records in their charge. 



NOTES ON BOOKS. 

THE OILMAN GENEALOGY, by Arthur Gil- 
man, of Lee, Mass. Albany : Joel Munsell, 1869. 
Sm. 4to. pp. xii, 324. 

We have seldom, if ever, examined a gen- 
ealogy (in which we were not personally in- 
terested) with so much pleasure, as we en- 
joyed in the perusal of this. Handsomely 
printed by Munsell, and well illustrated by 
very excellent and well engraved steel plate 
portraits, as well as wood cut views of locali- 
ties in England and this country, associated 
with the family history — the external appear- 
ance of the volume leaves nothing to be 
desired. The contents evince the same con- 
scientious and loving care and accuracy. 
The English portion of the history is full and 
interesting — the biographies numerous and 
well written, and the arrangement convenient 
— while reference to any person or anything 
mentioned in the book, is rendered perfectly 
easy and comfortable, by the numerous indexes 
of persons, families, places, books referred to, 
etc., which are given. That one devoted to 
the Oilman family has a very convenient 
arrangement, one that we have never before 



seen employed for distinguishing the various 
persons bearing the same christian name. It 
is to give the date of birth and decease of 
each, thus : 

Joseph 1680. 40. 

" 1738. 1806 118. 
1772. 1772 200. 
The edition consists ofthree hundred copies 
in small quarto, and twenty copies on large 
paper; these last having eleven additional 
photographs. h. r. s. 



IN MEMOMAM. A BiogTapbical sketch of John 
William Bessac ; with some account of his family, 
by George Park, and Benjamin L. Bessac. 
Albion, N. Y. Press of Brunei- Bio's, 1863. 

This pamphlet of twenty-two pages, con- 
tains an interesting biography of Jean-Guii- 
laume Bessac, who was born in the parish of 
Monvalant, France, Feb. 4, 1760; came to 
America in 1779, settled first at Jersey City, 
N. J.; thence, about 1788, removed to Hud- 
son, N. Y.; again moved about 1809. to 
Green, N. Y., where he died in 1824. Also, a 
genealogy of his decendants. d. w. p. 



MY WIFE AND MY MOTHER. Hartford : Wil- 
liams, Wiley & Waterman, 1864, 12o. 312 pp. 
and 84 additional pages of Genealogy. (Privately 
printed.; 

This compactly printed volume, prepared 
by Henian H. Barber, for many years well 
known as Probate Judge of Hartford County, 
Conn., contains very full biographies (with 
extracts from correspondence) of his de- 
ceased wife, Frances Elizabeth (daughter of 
Merlin and Clarissa) IMerrill, and of his 
mother, Naomi (daughter of Solomon and 
Hannah) Humphrey, both of Barkhamsted,

AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. 



REGISTER OF THE AYLSWORTH FAMILY, 

by Sylvester Aylswobth. Utica : Bennet, 

Backus & Hawley, 1840. 

This is a pamplilet of twelve pages, with- 
out cover, giving one line of the family, with- 
out dates for four generations, except in the 
family of William Aylsworth, of the fourth 
generation, whose descendants seem to be 
fully named, and in three of the households 
full dates are given. An appendix of three 
pages contains some account of other bran- 
ches, without dates, and the author's conclu- 
sions that Arthur Aylsworth was born in 
Wales in 1656, and was a brother of Theo- 
philus who, in 1664, fled to Holland, remained 
several years, spelling his name " Elswort," 
then with his family settled in the city of 
New York, where many of the descendants 
still remain. They spell their name "Els- 
worth." He also supposes that another 
brother fled in 1670, and settled in Connecti- 
cut, whose descendants " spell their names 
Ellsworth ;" and says, "to this family belonged 
Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth, who was born 
at Windsor, Ct , April 29th, 1745, and died 
1807, aged 62 years, and William W. Ells- 
worth, present Governor of that State." Un- 
fortunately for tliis last concUusion the ances- 
tor of the Ellsworths of Windsor, had been 
many years in that place before 1670. 

Arthur Aylsworth came to America about 
1681, married Mary Brown, of Providence, 
R. I , and settled in North Kingston, R. I., 
where he died in 1725, aged 69 years.
